Marwah Studios Observed Zero Tolerance day against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
First i would like to tell you what female genital mutilation is, FGM is a ritual which is practised in eastern parts of the world like South Africa, Asia and Middle East. Female Genital Mutilation is cutting or removing some or all of the female genitalia by usually a blade which affects the health of a women adversely and results in immature menstrual cycle, problem in urination and can cause severe problems during pregnancy. Most of the Genital Mutilation happens before a girl reaches age 5 or till puberty.
Noida: Asian Academy of Films and Television, Marwah Studios released a poster to observe International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation by dignities like Dr. Deepak Narwal and Sameer Zaka from United Kingdom, Ashwani Dhaul from USA, Dr. Wilhelm Zoltan and Viktor Toth from Hungary in the event designed by International Chamber of Media And Entertainment Industry at AAFT.
Dr. Sandeep Marwah, president of Asian Education Group and International Chamber of Media and Entertainment Industry informed that “About 120 to 140 million women have been subject to FGM and 3 million girls are at risk each year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). FGM relates to all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. This practice is an abuse of human rights and causes serious health complications, including fatal bleeding"
Dr. Sandeep Marwah has been Ambassador of International Human Rights Organization affiliated to United Nations and now nominated as Parton to IFUNA- Indian Federation of United Nations Federation.
This practise or ritual is very risky and dangerous in terms of Women Safety and hygiene. It should be stopped as soon as possible to avoid any kind of irresponsible causality and risk to life.
